GP Cinema 2-pass encoding testing

[Jim diGriz]

I've put up a small page showing current settings that I'm using.The settings are still being tested by me, but I haven't a great deal of time for this currently.If anyone else has some spare time, I'd be pleased if they could give these settings a go and let me know how they get on.

Thanks guys.I know the 2-pass approach takes a while to do and so I appreciate you taking the time.

Here is a link to a teaser trailer of LOTR Return of the King:

I'm using the same general settings from the page linked at the start of this thread, but I've upped the video bitrate to 256 and am using mono audio.I'm using a smaller height than I usually do (128 as opposed to 176) but this is a more correct aspect ratio and it also contributes towards allowing use of a higher video bitrate.

The source audio was a bit crumby, but I've filtered it a little and it isn't too bad.
You must run GP Cinema at 133mhz for this file to play properly.

I still don't have any time for testing GP Cinema currently and I would welcome any impressions people gain if they happen to use these settings or indeed any general info they have gained from their own tests.
